Surprised that Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White only was named the 95th best player in the league by NFL Network recently? You’re not alone.

Bleacher Report agrees with you.

After NFL Network released their initial first part of the list last weekend, B/R named White amongst the “biggest surprises” found in it. They also can’t believe White nearly didn’t make the list:

Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White has earned a reputation as one of the league’s top playmaking cornerbacks. Despite this, he barely made the NFL Top 100 list.

White, an All-Pro in each of the last two seasons, has been instrumental in Buffalo’s rise from the league’s basement to Super Bowl contender. He’s been a fixture on the defense since being selected No. 27 overall four years ago, racking up 238 tackles, 54 pass deflections, 15 interceptions, four forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks.

PFF noted that 17.1 percent of targets thrown into his coverage have resulted in either a pass breakup or pick. He’s a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks to deal with and helps the Bills win games in a big way.

There aren’t many cornerbacks Buffalo would swap White out for, so his ranking of No. 95 is just too low.

Overall, in landing at No. 95, White fell a massive 48 spots in NFL Network‘s rankings from the year prior.

While the Bills defense did take a step back in 2020 from their previous strong seasons under Sean McDermott, it was not only White’s fault.

In fact, many of the successes Buffalo did have defensively last season were because of White.

The Bills’ lockdown corner was unfairly treated.
